MikroTik Loop Protect Feature

CLOUD FOR NETWORK 4


Loop Protect
 Loop protect feature can prevent Layer2 loops by sending loop protect protocol packets and shutting
down interfaces in case they receive loop protect packets originated from themself.
 The feature works by checking source MAC address of received loop protect packet against MAC
addresses of loop protect enabled interfaces.
 If the match is found, loop protect disables the interface which received the loop protect packet.
 Log message warns about this event and interface is marked with a loop protect comment by system.
 RouterOS loop protect feature can be used on bridged interfaces as well as on ethernet interfaces which
are set for switching in RouterBoard switch chips.
 Loop protect works on ethernet, vlan, eoip and eoipv6 interfaces.
 It supports adjusting loop protect packet sending interval and interface disable time.
 Configuration changes or expiration of disable time resets loop protection on interface.
